Everything In Conversation:  Wearable Health-Tech Paranoia

Everything In Conversation: Wearable Health-Tech Paranoia

Happy Wednesday, it's time for our weekly chat, wahooo.

A recent piece in the New York Times asked Is All of This Self-Monitoring Making Us Paranoid?


It was all about wearable health technology such as Oura rings. Oura rings are smart devices worn on the finger that contain sensors so you can track over 20 biometrics such as sleep, movement, body temperature, stress, menstrual cycles and something called daily readiness. They’re between around £350 and £500, which I don’t believe covers a subscription to data and insights, which is an additional monthly or yearly fee, and they promise to “empower you to prioritise your long term health goals and build healthy habits that will last a lifetime.” The New York Times piece is really interesting, and explores how this kind of data isn’t always a gateway to good physical health habits, but can for some people, increase their anxiety and unhealthy body monitoring habits.


We get into it and hear from you, the listeners, too!


We hope you enjoy, and as always please do follow + review the show on your podcast player app as it helps others to find the podcast :)
